Borderline Personality Disorder is a chemical imbalance that can alter a person's mental health. It is a stressful disorder to deal with, but you can take steps to help a parent learn to cope with it. By speaking with doctors, counselors, friends, family, and even your church, you can learn to live a somewhat normal life again. The disorder can be confusing, but with proper research and understanding, you can learn to help your parent cope with the illness. Below, you can read about some ways to deal with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Step 1

Research the disorder to get as much information as you can. Go with your parent to her doctor's appointments so that you can ask any questions that you may have. Trying to understand Borderline Personality disorder and what it can do is the first step to coping with it.

Step 2

Seek any additional counseling that you may need yourself. Dealing with Borderline personality can often be like a roller-coaster ride and can sometimes add stress to your life. Speak with a counselor about any feelings that you may be dealing with.

Step 3

Understand that what your parent is going through is not your fault. They may say things that they don't mean or have sudden moodswings.

Step 4

Be as supportive as you can for your parent. He may be experiencing feelings and moodswings that he may not even understand himself. Keep a close eye on his prescriptions and stay in close touch with the doctor. Talk to the doctor about increasing or decreasing any medication that you feel might be helpful to your parent.
